k, i have a motherboard that doesnt support sata hard drives. if i get a pci card for it would it be the same speed and performance as a motherboard with it built right in.

thanx

A:expansion

No mate it wont, SATA built onto the boad runs at 150 ATA theoretically but the add in cards are still limited by the PCI bus which impose the same limit as IDE chips so the most you would get would be 133, personally I never found a difference with SATA built in until I put 2 drives in a raid stripe.

25GB is the recommended disk space for a window 8 consumer preview install, your C: drive just isn't big enough unless you wipe your OS that's all ready on it and you wouldn't want to do that, only install windows 8 on a test machine or as dual boot install in my opinion.

It looks like you have enough space on your E: drive where you could create a 25GB blank partition and then you could install Windows 8 consumer preview there, if not then get another or bigger hard drive.

You could also make a ghost image of your C: drive, get a bigger C: hard drive, reghost your C: drive back onto the new bigger hard drive and then create a blank partition on it of 25GB or bigger and install windows 8 there, that's above my head though and could be kind of hard to do.

I need more USB outlets on my machine. Currently there are two and are used for a modem and printer. I was thinking of a Belkin product but would like some advice on whether it is better to have one externally powered to avoid extra load on the machine. Any thoughts out there please?

have 4 ide devices on my home pc. I have heard of ide expansion cards that allow additional devices to be added (I have 2hd's and a cd and cdrw) I would like to put the cdrw on its own port. Can anyone explain how this works - or point me in a direction where I can find the necessary info.thankx

A:ide expansion

Yes- An IDE Controller card will add 4 additional device capapbility- one I am familiar with called Promise Ultra 100, TX2- but there are others. Use any search engine for "IDE Controller Cards" should get you needed info. Installing the Promise Ultra 100 is fairly easy if you follow instructions. You may not have any spare IRQ's with 4 devices already. Should be some information in the search articles about this. Cost is around $25 at most PC supply sites. Bought one at computer show for $23. Most use PCI slot- sure you have one that is free- and not the shared slot.When installed, they show up as a SCSI device.

Hi, I'm new user at this forum, and needs your help.Actually, I want to expand my network by adding one more 8 ports switch, to an existing 16 port gigbit ethernet switch.

please tell me how it'll be done? the compelete procedure, crossover or straight cables will be used ? or how the computers connected with 8-ports switch and 16-port switch will interact with each other, file sharing etc.

Currently, DSL connection is using for Internet. and i also want the other computers to use the internet.

I have a shared PCI/ISA slot on my MB. What (or better how) can I use this slot? I want to add a NIC for DSL but all my PCI's are in use by Firewire, SCSI, and sound cards? Can I use this shared slot for the NIC or swap out one of my others and use them in the shared??Thanks for any help!Bob

A:expansion slot

well, most PCI cards sohuld play nice nice with the shared slot. But i'm not to sure abuot that. I'm not sure if the sound card would like it though. You can probably just put the NIC in there

Hi iv got a semi weird question that id like to mull over of my home computers running XP does seem to run hot to the touch as its now sumer time and i dont really have a choice but to keep it in a small un-airconditioned room judging from Speed-fan iv noticed it in the past couple days get to deg C range not sure how accurate that is but it is a bit hot to the touch when i touch the back of the fan or now its never shut down or rebooted or anything of that nature but laitly when Thermal Expansion? or something else? i do turn it off for a period of time and try to restart it it hangs on windows XP loading screen now intrestingly enough if i can still enter safe mode ect and iv tried resinstalling video drivers on a whim to see if that affects it Thermal Expansion? or something else? it seemed to fix it for the time but it still reoccurs on a cold boot iv also found that simply re-seating my video card a random geforce that i Thermal Expansion? or something else? pulled from an older system this seems to let me boot up every time simply reseating the card then powering it up again so im wondering if its Thermal expansion also note due to the design of my case its impossible for me to put a screw into the card slot for my video card something that bugs me so im leaning towards thermal expansion but could it also be a dying video card nbsp

A:Thermal Expansion? or something else?

If you can enter safemode I doubt if heat is the issue. What CPU and motherboard?

My Computer is at 800x600 yet my mouse takes up half the screen - about 12cm long. Yet in device manager its fine. Could it be a hack or something. Cause my internet connection is really slow even with cable. Also my start bar went pink once and wallpaper "fizzy".

I have the sims 2 along with the university expansion pack. everything was going fine up until awhile ago when i discovered a problem with the job/careers promotion. Anything to do with the job/careers is blanked out. the activity square at the top left corner and the career logo in the job panel. my sims go to work in their own clothes insted of changing into the uniform of their jobs. I've tried saving the game and reinstalling but as soon as I reinstall my game the problem returns. can u help??

A:the sims 2 uni expansion

i'm afraid to say it but it might have something to do with your save game file being corrupted or there is somehow a bug in it, if you start a new game, does the problem still exist? also did you download any patches available for the game? i know it was newly released so i don't know if any exist yet but at least check.

I bought Sims 2 and "Open for Business" for my daughter and since installing "Open for Business" Sims 2 no longer functions at all...whens I try to runs Sims 2 it tells me to put in the expansion disk god what an awfull mess this game is.

I have a Compaq Proliant 1600 running Windows NT 4.0 server and 2 logical drives on a raid 5 array.

I have just added a new 9.1GB disk (same as the other 5) and run the Compaq array config utility. This has happily added the new disk to the array and restripped the data. However, NT isn't showing any more free disk space.

I had this happen when I added the 5th disk and I know I had to do something else to get NT to see the extra space, but I don't remember what.

Anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks

A:RAID 5 Expansion

My only experience with a Compaq RAID-5 array was that 5 drives was the maximum it would manage, the 6th was simply a spare that hung around until one of the other drives failed. I may be off-base here, since it's been awhile since I worked with the Compaq server, just an observation.

I have an ACER aspire 5733. It came with both memory slots filled, one DIMM0 with a Kingston DDR3 1024mb PC3-10700 (667 MHz) and the other, DIMM1 with a Kingston DDR3 4096 MBytes PC3-10700 (667 MHz). I'd like to replace the smaller one with another 4gb stick so that it performs a little better, and is more likely to cope with Windows 10, but I can't work out how to idenitfy the right one to buy. Which specification is most important to match. Is the Mhz important ? Some UK sites don't quote a mhz number on what seem to be the right sticks. how do I work out what pin I need? any help most welcome

I've got a slight problem. You know how when you install too many programs, all of them can't fit on one screen (start>all programs) so you get these gray bars on the side. Is there a way to expand of move the programs so that the ones off screen can be seen. I'll insert a ScreenShot to illustrate what I mean, (sort of)

Thanks for reading and any help.

I have had a seagate 500gb expansion drive for two years and never had a problem, then yesterday I turned it on, the led indicator lit for a second and the disc started and continued spinning but with no sign of it in file explorer, after several more efforts the same result, I tried other usb sockets then a friends laptop with the same results I am puzzled the way the green LED lights up but for only 0.5 of a second, that together with the seemingly intact rotation of the platter gives me hope but then I know nothing of IT hardware therefore I?m hoping that someone can advise me either way whether I may be able to get a quick and (cheapish) repair or if my doom monger friend is correct by suggesting a professional retrieval can be eye-wateringly expensive regardless of the amount of data saved. Again a pre-emptive Thank you to any prospective.

A:can I resuscitate my expansion hdd.

If it just the enclosure that has failed you may be able to remove the drive and slave it in your PC. It's probably a laptop SATA drive.

Wanting to add USB 3.0 to my existing AMD system and am seeking input from those that may have already been down this path. The LaCie LaCie USB 3.0 PCI Express Card looks pretty interesting but I have no experience with their products ... any feedback would be appreciated.

According to the specs for the Slimline 260-a010, it uses a Geneva-P motherboard. The HP supplied specs on that board show one expansion slot , a One M.2 socket 1, key A. I have looked all over that board and can not find an expansion slot of any kind.I am trying to find a schematic of that board to check on a possible slot that I can not see. Can anyone help with any information on the Geneva-P motherboard? Thanks!

I really enjoy this new laptop. Only having this problem with memory expansion.
It currently has a M2 256gb SSD built in, and I want a 2,5'' 500gb HDD in it aswell.
Therefor I need a bracket.
I have found a picture of this bracket, add in attachments.
Found on the following site (picture 4/8): http://laptopmedia.com/highlights/in...grade-options/
In this picture is no M2 slot to be seen.
Looks like only one of these posibilties has been add into the laptop.

Question is; where can I find this bracket, so I can add more memory to my laptop?

Alright, so I've basically installed everything and patched it and have the CD in the drive but when I start up the game, the game's logo shows up and then it suddenly goes.... "Age of Empires II expansion has Stopped working..." blah blah blah. I've ran some old games and they worked I don't know why AoE II doesn't....

Tried Compatibility Windows 98 and XP SP2 and Windows 2003 SP1 *No idea why*Tried reinstalling both of them, patched them already, my anti-virus doesn't interfere with it or anything, tried running in 256 colours and still crashes, also ran as Administrator and it doesn't work..

Can anyone help me?

A:Age of Empires II and Expansion

After reading your post I tried to start my old installation of AoE2 (on storage-HD) and it did run perfect. The basic game (empires2.exe) as well as the expansion (age2_x1/age2_x1.exe) required only the acceptal of the EULA (license and stuff) since I didn't installed the game properly on Vista. But everything else worked fine. So it may be a problem with your version of Vista or maybe even the system.

I had some troubles recently with older games because the programs had insufficient rights to access files... try "run as administrator" on the empires2.exe (not the shortcut), but that's only a vague guess...Good luck!

I have a HP pavillon dv4000 laptop. I recently bought a HP xb2000 Notebook Expansion Base. On the box it says it would be compatible with my laptop if it has a a Expansion Port 2. I dont believe my laptop has this accessory because the plug doesnt look anything like the ports on my laptop. I was wondering if there is another accessory i can buy so that this expansion base will work with my laptop. The wireless keyboard and mouse obviously work but i can buy that anywhere and save a lot more money. Does anyone know if i can buy another accessory to make this base work? i would GREATLY appreciate it!!

expansion port 2 is not an accessory, it is a connector soldered onto the motherboard, if you'rs doesn't have it then you're out of luck

if your's has it... the expansion port will be on the left side of the laptop

I have successfully loaded the sims 2 on my e drive. When loading sims 2 expansion packs on the e drive , when I get to the final step of inserting the 4th disc of theoriginal sims 2 to finish off the installation I am told that 'can't read disc' despite the 4th disc previously being OK. I have previously had all sims 2 expansion packs work happily on my computer. The problem is trying to load them onto the e drive. Is there a particular way of creating folders within the e drive that would help?At tthe moment its like expansion packs can't find original sims 2 to 'talk to'.

A:Sims 2 Expansion Problems

I've had some problems installing expansion packs with Sims 2 as well. Try to find the folder containing the saved games and see if yours are still there. If they are, copy them to your desktop and try installing the games and expansions. Then copy your savegames back into the right place, and see if the game recognizes them.

Its kind of hard to say unless you tell us the specifications of your machine. I would imagine you will be just fine, but make sure you have enough space on your hard drive.

We have a home network with a wireless base station which acts as a router. One of the computers is connected to the base station and the other is connected to the network through a wireless card. All firewalls have been turned off. However we are unable to play Multiplayer AoE using either of the LAN/TCP-IP Option or the Internet TCP/IP option. We tried playing through the zone and that didn;t work either. Each time we just get a message saying "Unable to join game". I read a thread saying some port need to be open but the appropriate support page on the zone.com website seems to no longer exist . I just finished my finals and really really need to play this game (((. Please help!!

A:Multiplayer Conqueror's Expansion on LAN

The firewall wouldn't be an issue if your both behind it.Do you have more then one game licence? In other words two or more different discs, one for each PC? If not that's why more then one PC can't play online at once. Some but not all games require each PC even on LAN matches to have a different licence key. If this isn't the case for you look to Microsofts FAQS for the game to see if you need each PC to use a different port. If both PCs are using the same port for the game that may be your problem but it's not firewall related. The same thing would apply if your both trying to play online. Due to the router obtaining an IP which both PCs use you would need to change the port settings for the game on one PC to insure the game server knows it's two different machines.

Hi everybody. I have a question a bit strange/or difficult! I'm using Dell Dimension E521. I have 4 (four) slots to add more RAM memory. I have it filled with 4 (four) 512 MB RAM modules. I have a feeling that I need a bit more. What can I do? My motherboard supports only 2 gigabytes all together. Wondering if there is anything I can buy (a link for the item please) to add another 2 gigabytes? It can be something what I can plug in to one of my USB outlets. Or do you think the existing 2046 MB of RAM memory is enough for me?(How difficult would it be to install a different motherboard? I donít really understand what can I do with a Processor chip itself?)

I have The Sims Double Deluxe installed on my PC as well as one expansion pack.

How can I get the expansion pack loaded if it can't find the orginal Sims game on the D drive? (my cd disk drive is E).Thank you for your help!Amber

A:can't load game expansion

Your original Sims installation might not be in the place the expansion is looking...You could try going to Start->Search->Search for Files and Folders and then look for the directory the original is installed at.

The expansion needs to be installed in the same drive and directory as the original...So if the original is in the C: drive, the expansion must be in the C: drive too.

The expansion might be trying to install in C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims\, when the original was installed in C:\The Sims\, for example. Or, the original might be in the D: drive and the expansion is looking for it in the C: drive.EDIT: Just thought of this...if the expansion you have installed already is NEWER than Double Deluxe, than Double Deluxe might not install properly...In that case, you might have to uninstall/reinstall the game and install the expansions in the order they were released.

I upgraded the memory in a computer, booted up the computer and new memory was accepted. I shut down the computer and installed an SMC network card in a computer. I went to boot the computer up and I got three high pitched beeps, followed by a pause, then a low tone noise. Everything boots up except the monitor will not come on. I have taken out the additional memory I put in, have taken this computer completely apart and reassembled it and when I boot it up I still get the beeps and the monitor will not respond. I have double checked all the jumpers. Any clue to what this could be?

A:Installed Expansion Card

From that pattern, it sounds like a video problem.Might be the Video Cards is loose in the socket. Take it out and try reinstalling it again. Also, check to see if there is any dirt/etc. on the contacts. An old trick is to use a pencil eraser to clean the contacts. Likewise, blow out any dust/etc. in system.

Also, does it work without the SMC network card installed?

Another possibility is that it got a static charge when you were installing the network card.If that happened, the only thing that you can do is replace it.

Circumventing Copy Protection - While we believe it's reasonable to make backup copies of CDs and DVDs that you own, a lot of people break copy protection for the wrong reasons. The law is still vague, at best, as to if it is legal to break copy protection in order to make such a backup, even for personal use. (The DMCA, for example, seems to make it illegal.) As a result, we do not allow discussion of how to break copy protection at this time. If we can find a nice way to draw the line, we may reconsider this in the future as laws get sorted out.

well, this appears to be a random issue related to windows updates. I have a Genius brand mouse, but on updating the OS -sometimes- it rejects the drivers in favor of generic MS drivers. Running the normal driver update results in nothing more than the standard "device is up to date" message, and win7 will not recognize any downloaded drivers in the directory holding the manufacturer's files. My only solution has been to select "browse my computer" from the driver update options, then "let me pick" and uncheck "show compatible hardware" - viola, the manufacturer and actual drivers finally show up. Ignored the MS warning that they aren't compatible, it works. I've had to repeat the process a couple of times in the few months since I posted this. Hopefully it will help anybody else struggling with the same issues.

Hi, I have a Seagate USB3 500GB Portable Expansion Drive to accommodate my Back-ups and also any files I wish to 'transport' to another PC. I would prefer to leave the device connected to my PC except when I need to transport files. Will leaving it connected do any harm; should it be removed when not in use?The PC it is connected to is NOT permanently switched on; being 'live' only for a few hours each day when in use.Thank you.

A:Portable Expansion Drive.

I leave an external hard drive connected all the time. To me it's no different than leaving a mouse or keyboard or printer always connected. In fact, I have an older computer running Windows XP. The external hard drive on that machine has been connected for about 6 years with no problems.

I am a big fan of Conqueror Expansions in Age of Empres II. I play it in my laptop everytime I have a chance and most of the times there are no problems. Recently, however, I am playing, and most of times, If I am beating the computer. It crashes down and sends to me to a bluescreen error message telling me it is not possible to access to memory, that contact my vendor support.

Is there Anything wrong in Windows Vista? because the hardware error scan is correct. No problems in it.I wonder if anyone can help me.

Best wishes,cheers,Tiberio

I just got Unleashed but need to uninstall Superstar first. I can't find my instuction book(found all the others but not that one lol) can anyone tell me how to uninstall superstar without uninstalling the Sims.

installed the sata pci epansion card but did not get the pop up to say installing new hard ware looked in the device manager and only new thing there is in the storage controller section and that is a via raid controller 3249 the card im trying to get working is the via vt6421a chipset i have had this same card working before but not this time any ideas to get windows to detect this card i have tryed evertthing i could think of before i ask for help thanks for any help i get i have two new cards and nieither one gets found

Not that it's really relevant to explain that other than to illustrate how important it is that I don't blow the thing up, but I bought it to create a disk image in Macrium Reflect Home Edition v6 (which I did), in preparation for upgrading from Win7 to Win10, just in case things go very badly when I do that.

But I notice that when it's plugged in and I right-click on it in Windows Explorer, no "Eject" option appears in the drop-down menu.

So I just unplugged it.

Is "Eject" just not appearing because an expansion drive is made in such a way that no preparation is needed before safely unplugging it?

Or am I risking data loss or worse by unplugging it without preparation?

A:Don't need to eject an expansion drive?

Down in your tray near the clock should be a "Safely Remove Hardware" button, clicking it should give a list of items you want to unplug from your system. Once hit to unplug/disconnect an item, the notice of "It is now safe to unplug {nameofitem} from your computer" will appear allowing you to safely unplug the drive

Beyond the onboard 1TB hybrid HD. Is there room internally availible for additional expansion? Am I looking to add an external drive or NAS for futher expansion? I have had my Sprout Pro for almost a month now and see so much potential in this product. So far though. Work keeps getting in the way of being able to sit down and sink my teeth into it.

I have an intel 865 motherboard. I am using a sound card audigy zs and have it plugged into a PCI expansion slot. Each time i have opened my computer my sound card stops working and i have to change the PCI expansion slot to make it work again. After that it stops working on that slot, i am down to my 3rd slot out of 4 to hook my sound card up to since the first two dont work for the sound card anymore. I am totally confused by this situation any help will be appreciated if you need more info pls let me know....

A:Help with losing PCI Expansion Slots

Well, The sound card may be frying evrything it gets into. Is this a new card, or have you had it for a while? Check to see if you can still use those pci slots for anything else, because like I said before, its probably frying the slots. Which means you may need to get a new soundcard, and a new motherboard(but both may be under warrenty, so dont worry to much)

I have a LanParty UT mobo, great board, no problems. However, I have the pins for the USB block on the back of my PC and a second set of pins for the front set of USB ports. However, I have a 5 in 1 USB card reader that requires pins but no 3rd set of pins on the mobo to connect. Anyone have any suggestions on how to expand USB connections (meaning pins as I can't use a hub).

A:USB Mobo Expansion Options

If you have a free PCI slot on the motherboard, you can install a PCI USB card that comes with internal pins.

What expansion card can I use? I have the Acer ATC-605-UR51 desktop AKA the TC-605. I seem to have two expansion slots inside. One is smaller, and I used it for this USB 3.0 card. One is larger. I wanted to have some USB 2.0 ports and purchase this card, but it did not fit. What can I buy? Thanks!!!!

Greetings Ladies and Gents I am implementing a Scenario Wireless Expansion project that I requires expanding my wireless reach but I may be over-thinking the scenario as I sometimes do and I want to make sure I have this straight before spending too much money Here is the scenario Office - In the office we have High Speed Internet into a WRT G Router and then ONE computer into that simple Warehouse - feet away we have a warhouse where we are having our thermostats Wireless Expansion Scenario HVAC all converted to this system where the company can access and control HVAC remotely via the internet So Honeywell s equipment needs to plug into my internet connection The company does not want to pull wire from one building to the other they want to go wireless So what I am asking is for a suggested equipment configuration to get Honeywell s one ethernet cable to get my internet I thought that I would need two access points but I have to make sure we get what we need There is only a router in the office right now and nothing in the warehouse All thoughts welcome and appreciated Joel nbsp

A:Wireless Expansion Scenario

If there are minimal obstructions a wireless router or Access Point in the office and a Wireless Bridge in the warehouse should be sufficient.

Wireless Bridge is also called AP Client. The units go by different names, sometimes just "Access Point," and you have to look at the features or specs to see if they support "wireless bridge" or "AP client."

Hey Firstly - this issue is occurring on Run Diablo II/Expansion Issue a Macintosh iMac latest gen So I am not sure if you can help I m asking on behalf of a friend But maybe this is just a generic issue that can have a simple answer regardless of platform When installing Diablo II and Expansion from the discs he owns it twice as his XP laptop wouldn t read Diablo II/Expansion Run Issue a disc on his first copy everything goes great But when Diablo II/Expansion Run Issue he runs the game it s not so great The intro Blizzard videos play fine But when it gets to the title first menu screen it goes a bit whacky Here is a screen shot http img photobucket com albums v diabloiiscreen jpg I assumed it could possibly be his display resolution as he s using one of those quot or so widescreen macs But changing that to suggested resolution didn t fix the issue The games ARE mac compat as written on the box discs If you manage to blindly find the character creation button through the boxiness then it will continue to show up random repeated boxes Have you experienced something like this before I can t imagine it being the drivers as the computer is new and the game is relatively old His card slaughters the recommended one He has tried using both copies he owns But the same happens with both Thank you for any help you may be able to provide nbsp

A:Diablo II/Expansion Run Issue

Issue fixed through changing renderer from OpenGL to Software. A Pentium Intel qwerk, I guess.

I have been using a 3 port USB PCI Card. The other day, any device plugged into the card quit working.

Did some troubleshooting, and found out that the card is receiving power only, and is not transmitting any data. Some of the USB Devices I have - Printer, Flash Drive, USB Hdd, USB Wifi Adapter, Mouse, keyboard, Sidewinder Control stick, webcam, and a UPS.

I plugged each one into the card, and they all received power, but no data. Windows is not detecting that the device is plugged in, but the device does light up the LED's

I do not have any other PCI cards to test to see if it is the Card, or the ports that are bad. It is doing the same thing on both of the PCI slots on my Motherboard.

All of the other USB ports are working fine.

Without testing in another computer I'd assume the card is bad. I went a different way, put a 4-port USB Hub in the floppy drive bracket on the front of the computer, connects to the internal power supply and the data cable plugs into a USB port on the back. I do have a couple of the PCI Add-in cards salvaged from other computers but like the front ports for accessibility.CablesToGo Model # 30564 but replacement is Model # 305674-port USB 2.0 High Speed Front-Bay Hub - Black

I am new to this, but here is my issue:I purchased an xb3000 Expansion Base for use with my Compaq V6444US PresarioNotebook. I hooked everything up, however, the USB ports do not work (or are not detected). This is the 2nd expansion base that has the identical problem. HP sent me a replacement. Does anyone have any insight into this problem? I am hoping it is operator error as I have to wait forever to get HP to respond. Thanks, Dave

I really enjoy this new laptop. Only having this problem with memory expansion.
It currently has a M2 256gb SSD built in, and I want a 2,5'' 500gb HDD in it aswell.
Therefor I need a bracket.
I have found a picture of this bracket, add in attachments.
Found on the following site (picture 4/8): http://laptopmedia.com/highlights/in...grade-options/
In this picture is no M2 slot to be seen.
Looks like only one of these posibilties has been add into the laptop.

Question is; where can I find this bracket, so I can add more memory to my laptop?

Is there any current documentation or whitepapers that illustrate why a customer should upgrade by adding DDR3/4 memory as opposed to believing they will get the same performance by allowing Windows to page out to an SSD drive? Particularly if the software they are running specifically calls for more memory than is currently installed in the machine?

I recently bought my first desktop computer after years of always having a laptop and I am pleased about the idea of expanding it. The computer I purchased is a decent machine (Gateway DX4710) and is not in need of pertinent upgrades to make it run any better. But it does have two expansion slots in the back (one is the wireless adaptor which I don't need anyway) and one expansion bay in the front. Having never added to a desktop computer before, what are some common uses of these extra expansion slots? What would be a good idea to use them for?

I was wanting to pursue the memory upgrade for my 6 GB HP-ac143wm...do you have the precise name/type of modules to perform either the 8 GB or 16 GB upgrade? I am a poweruser/programmer and would benefit from more memory. Thanks, Joe

A:Memory upgrade/expansion for HP-ac143wm

Here is the Service manual: Manual p. 2 the Manual says 8 gigs is the max. I personally think it will take 16 gigs since it will take an 8 gig module, but to be safe assume 8 is the max. To go from 6 gigs to 8 gigs you have to discard the existing 2 gig module and replace it with a 4 gig module. How to on p. 46: 4-GB (PC3L, 12800, 1600-MHz) 691740-005 This is really only supposed to be done by an authorized technician to keep the warranty, but it is actually not terribly hard to do. There are a lot of screws involved, however so if you are not used to tech work you might want to take it to a shop. Post back if you need more help. the 6 gig to 8 gig upgrade should be somewhat noticeable and does enable dual channel memory operation which is a bit faster than single channel and the extra 2 gigs is needed by any intensive computing. 8 to 16 gigs might not even be noticeable. This is the module you need: https://www.amazon.com/HP-691740-001-1600MHz-PC3L-12800-memory/dp/B00CI08FX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=...

Dear Community,Do you guy knew if Dell E7250 is able to install ADDITIONAL ssd in M.2 Expansion Slots?In the specification it's show there are free M.2 slot for WWAN or SSD.

If it's support what SSD M.2 model should i but 2242?

A:Dell E7250 SSD Expansion Slot

The additional slot referenced is in the E-dock expansion adapter - NOT the system. The system takes only one internal M.2 drive.If you have (or purchase) the E-dock port adapter, you'll have the additional M.2 slot.

This should work in any desktop system with a spare PCI slot.Click to expand...

i have a dell 8200 dimension and i bought a pci card to upgrade my computer to 2.0 usb port and it is not supported and it wont work as far as 2.0 speed. sorry for butting in to this thread but i was quite dissapointed. did i get the wrong info? and can i truly upgrade my machine?

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread. I've created a new thread for your issue here. Thanks for your cooperation.

RE your issue: It would help if you told us what specific card you purchased, and what the exact symptoms are.
